silver and green july, 1971 editorial W e are led to believe that the only means by which several million communist Chinese are c a p a b l e of expressing their thoughts and opinions is by quoting M a o ' s little red book. T o what extent this is true is uncertain, but the prospect is a frightening one. Frustration in the area of independent thought is both unhealthy and

undesirable.

One needs some medium through which to express oneself. Too often, however, the individual making an effort in this direction unthinking contemporaries with the

This problem becomes more acute in the face of population

increase,

and thus in a school the size of M.L.C. cannot be r e g a r d e d as a minor one. T h e means by which one expresses oneself is unimportant, but it is important that this capacity is responsibly and wisely developed while one is still at school so that, confronted with the f r e e d o m of adult life, one's vital need for self expression can be fulfilled.

This m a g a z i n e is one medium through which you can express yourself, but it is far from being the only one. Self-expression is not limited to artistic endeavour. Any achievement which sets one aside as a unique entity within the education machine can be regarded as an expression of self.

S e n i o r S p e e c h N i g h t , drawing to a c o n c l u s i o n the 1 9 7 0 s c h o o l year, w a s held on December 11 in the M e l b o u r n e T o w n H a l l .

W h e n I f i r s t came to M . L . C . at the beginning of t h e year I w a s delighted to learn that Drama c l a s s e s w e r e being conducted w i t h i n the S c h o o l . I e n r o l l e d as s o o n as I could and I have enjoyed every moment of it. T h e r e are very few w a y s in w h i c h one can e x p r e s s o n e s e l f and drama p r o v i d e s the o p p o r t u n i t y as w e l l a s the outlet f o r s e l f - e x p r e s s i o n . It i s a l s o a way in which one can w o r k , really w o r k hard, and actually e n j o y o n e s e l f in the p r o c e s s ; f o r drama i s a combination of hard w o r k , fun and relaxation.

W e were p a r t i c u l a r l y h o n o u r e d to have M r s . D. J . McCarthy, p r i n c i p a l of M . L . C . E l s t e r n w i c k , and an Old C o l l e g i a n , to p r e s e n t the p r i z e s and to give u s an i n t e r e s t i n g a d d r e s s .

T h e programme began with a h y m n f o l l o w e d by the p r a y e r s and r e s p o n s e s . T h e m a s s e d s i n g i n g included two i t e m s e s p e c i a l l y arranged for the o c c a s i o n by the c o n d u c t r e s s , M i s s J a n e E l t o n , who w a s ably a s s i s t e d by the p i a n i s t s Margaret D o u g l a s and J a n e S t u b b s . and, at the organ, by M i s s Constance M e l l o r .

One of t h e s e i t e m s , an e x t r e m e l y difficult five-part arrangement of H a y d n ' s magnificent c h o r u s " T h e L o r d i s G r e a t " , proved to be one of the h i g h l i g h t s of the evening.

F o l l o w i n g a " R e v i e w of 1 9 7 0 " by the S e n i o r Prefect, R o b y n Hewitt, and t h e Vice S e n i o r Prefect, S u e Gedye, the S e n i o r Madrigal Group, led by A n n e Leggo and R o b y n S m i t h , p e r f o r m e d h i g h l y s e n s i t i v e i n t e r p r e t a t i o n s of two s i x t e e n t h - c e n t u r y m a d r i g a l s

T h e final c h o i r item w a s the g l o r i o u s " H o w L o v e l y A r e T h y D w e l l i n g s F a i r " by B r a h m s .

T h e performance of t h e s e w a s a t r i b u t e to the unceasing devotion of M i s s E l t o n , and w a s enjoyed greatly by both the audience and the g i r l s a l i k e .

T h e p r o g r a m m e c l o s e d w i t h the t r a d i t i o n a l s i n g i n g of the Leaving S o n g , the D i s m i s s a l H y m n , and the National Anthem.

I n the A n n u a l R e p o r t , Mr. Woodgate s a i d that at M . L . C . " o u r aim w i t h i n a C h r i s t i a n context i s to educate the w h o l e i n d i v i d u a l s o that s h e may be equipped to meet the challenge of the contemporary w o r l d and be developed to her greatest p o t e n t i a l . " Mr. Woodgate went on to comment on the great s u c c e s s of the s c h o o l , not o n l y in the excellent academic r e s u l t s , but in all b r a n c h e s i n c l u d i n g S p e e c h and Drama, and M u s i c . A final w o r d w a s directed to the g i r l s leaving s c h o o l to w h o m he s a i d that they now have the o p p o r t u n i t y to put into practice the i d e a l s and t r a d i t i o n s of M . L . C .

ROWENA

DOWEL,

H.VI.A.

W e began the year w i t h l e s s o n s on movement and i m p r o v i s a t i o n . A s e r i e s of rather g r u e l l i n g e x e r c i s e s were d r i l l e d into u s .

T h e s e w e r e designed to help u s r e l a x and to develop a better c o n t r o l of o u r m u s c l e s and l i m b s (not to mention the good they w o u l d do f o r o u r f i g u r e s ) . I am s u r e that no m e m b e r of the group w o u l d deny that after t h o s e s e s s i o n s that e v e r y m u s c l e in a p h y s i c a l l y unfit body w a s p r o t e s t i n g loudly. I m y s e l f could h a r d l y s t r u g g l e out of bed the f o l l o w i n g m o r n i n g .

I m p r o v i s a t i o n and mime were not s o demanding p h y s i c a l l y , but r e q u i r e d m o r e mental e x e r c i s e . A l l o u r f a c u l t i e s had to come into play d u r i n g t h e s e s e s s i o n s w h e r e common everyday practices s u d d e n l y became new and, s o m e t i m e s , even rather alien. One may a s k , " W h a t i s s o difficult about c a r r y i n g a b a g ? " , but it i s amazing how difficult it i s to c a r r y a bag w h e n it e x i s t s o n l y in the imagination. H e n c e o u r p o w e r s of o b s e r v a t i o n and imaginative f a c u l t i e s had to be developed and s h a r p e n e d .

T h i s year, M r s . W i l s o n h a s introduced a new project f o r the S e n i o r D r a m a group — a radio play. It r e q u i r e s an approach e n t i r e l y different f r o m conventional o r theatrical drama, in that the p e r s o n a l i t y of the character i s portrayed o n l y t h r o u g h the voice. An i n t e r e s t i n g feature of t h e radio play i s the u s e of " s o u n d e f f e c t s " . T h i s i s a new medium w h i c h we are a l l e n j o i n g and the play p r o m i s e s to be a great s u c c e s s o w i n g to M r s .

W i l s o n ' s expert guidance and the g i r l s ' e n t h u s i a s m . T h e t i t l e of the play being s t u d i e d i s " T h e S m a l l W o m a n " and t e l l s of a m i s s i o n a r y in China. B e i n g C h i n e s e I am able to help w i t h the p r o n u n c i a t i o n of the C h i n e s e w o r d s , and I m u s t admit I cannot help but be amused to hear my f e l l o w s t u d e n t s s p e a k i n g C h i n e s e w i t h a d i s t i n c t A u s t r a l i a n accent.

T h e f i r s t e x c i t i n g drama event t h i s year w a s the S e n i o r H o u s e Drama Contest; the adjudicator, M i s s Joan H a r r i s , awarding B e r r y f i r s t place w i t h t h e i r e x c e l l e n t production of a s c e n e f r o m " T h e D e v i l ' s D i s c i p l e " .

Frantic r e h e a r s a l s began l e s s than a w e e k before the date s e t f o r the p r e s e n t a t i o n and M r s . W i l s o n felt e x t r e m e l y s o r r y that t h e r e w a s s o l i t t l e t i m e to prepare u s f o r the occasion. H o w e v e r , in s p i t e of t h i s , it w a s v e r y s u c c e s s f u l t h a n k s to the t r e m e n d o u s co-operation and t e a m - w o r k of M r . T r i g g , the g i r l s , and M r s .

W i l s o n ' s hard w o r k and efficient direction.

If the S e n i o r and Middle S c h o o l s have been kept b u s y , t h e i r J u n i o r c o u n t e r p a r t s , too, have been hard at w o r k .

THE

winning entry

THE SEA Sparkling, shimmering in the cool evening air, As smooth as silk she is, She moves so silently to shore Moving the still air.

CITY

The smog slithers silently From the drab, grey streets, An early car passes, Stirring the papers Lying on the cold, hard roads, The milkman moves slowly Down the street, His horse moving jerkily In the bitter dawn.

The rain begins to drizzle down, The air is full of an unwelcome stench Of oil, and fish and soggy newspaper.

The paper boy begins his round Carelessly throwing his papers Into the alcoves which hide doors.

The streets begin to fill and the rain comes faster.

People starting for the market Slosh through dark, dark alleys Filled with old fish-heads and rotting fruit.

Cars are rushing, slamming on the brakes; The morning peak hour has struck.

The rain begins to cease, The sun rises overhead.

Shoppers bustle busily From one shop to another In the hopes of bargains.

Then all is quiet in the afternoon until — Screaming and yelling, bursting from doors, Come the children.

Finished is their day at school, Piling on to crowded trains and buses, Stepping on to already packed trains, Heralding the afternoon peak hour.

Then silence reigns, Broken only by the occasional car.

Coloured lights twitch on nervously; Then all is still, The city is sleeping, Waiting for the new day.

WILGA KOTTEK, II.B.

She is a gold, pink and orange, Coloured by the setting sun, Too heavenly to be anything But a haven of peace.

But underneath her mask and disguise, There is a merciless killer And anyone who stays away While she is wild and mad Will live to see another day.

And after she has quietened down Death and destruction she throws away To become once again A sparkling, shimmering, still evening sea.

Sparkling, shimmering in the cool evening air, /Is smooth as silk she is, She moves so silently to shore Moving the still air.

Suddenly Suddenly I remember The other times I've stood here: Once I laughed At the basket-valley Brimming with grass and magpie-song, Once the sun was rising And blue cranes challenged the spear-maze Of sunbeams.

On silvered wings, Once a kookaburra laughed with me At an elusive echo We had tried to catch, Once a flight of brown ducks rose In the flickering bronze of sunset — Their wings singing — To flaunt their skill at me.

Today There is only A crow.

He tossed his long, thick mane and . . .

With a whisk of his tail He was gone; Galloping, galloping to his heart's content, He was free and wild And ruled his own life.

Never would that brumby be captured.

OLWYN JONES, II.F.

Great gold god of glory Rears on tors like grotesque dancer, Screams his challenge to wild storm's fury, Beckoning wind to come and fight.

Straining haunches hold him upwards, Dangling forelegs reaching high, Wild voice echoes off his mountains Beckoning wind to come and follow.

Sun glints red on flashing mane, Streams molten silver from his tail From open mouth his loud voice soundeth Beckoning wind to come to freedom.

Piercing light of evening's sunset, Small ears point sharply upwards.

Untamed neigh rings over hills, Beckoning wind to come and find.

Fine head framed by golden Nostrils round, dilated, red, Rolling soundwaves carrying Beckons to wind to find the

sky, voice that future.

Depression Depression is like a highland mist.. .

It creeps up silently, and suddenly it is there, enveloping the soul, the mind and body... colouring and discolouring everything around until it is all grey, all cold, all slightly distant.

In a strange way, depression can sometimes be comforting and friendly.

Like the night. To give one something to think about, cushions the mind; like an old springless couch that has belonged in the same corner of the sitting room for years and years . . .

Depression is like a fog, a highland mist...

Silently, imperceptibly — It lifts.

They told me the sun was dying Told me death-glow of dawning Streaked the sky Clutched the earth with tired fingers.

They told me the wind was sobbing, Draping misery on huddled sleep.

Wilderness Trees enclose me as I walk along Thinking, listening to the sounds of the bush — The crunch and crackle of leaves and grass, Which feels like a spiky hedgehog, The buzzing of bees, the fluttering of birds; The bell-birds calling far and wide, Across the peaceful wilderness; The sound of a gushing waterfall, Friendly, calling . . .

A hundred times I have stood On this highest hill — And always the mountains Were made of mist In the distance — across the plain; Yet never before Have I stood — Gazing towards them in the late afternoon — When the Sun — Overcome with the sky-sea storm — Sinks and flounders in a brine of scarlet — The writhing waves washing her bows With blood: And when a western wind Tosses still the waves Though the ship is lost.

The M a n who Held the Moon And he lay in his wurley, his house of bark, on his back in the darkness and his eyes shone in the darkness.

He looked through a crack in his wurley's roof. He saw a piece of the moon and shreds of cloud.

He saw the cloud pass the moon, clutching it with merging tendrils.

He saw them turn silver as they neared the moon as a man's hand turns yellow in the light of his camp fire. He saw them turn white stark white, as they touched it. He saw them pass like shadows, creeping before it. Those clouds seemed so near, so near that he felt he could touch them, and he stretched out a white-palmed hand towards the crack in his wurley roof, and he touched the rough bark that framed his clouds and moon, but he could not touch them.

How could they be so near and yet so far away?

The crest of a tree he saw, black against the white cloud.

He saw the slender branches holding each a leaf gently swaying, making a moving mosaic of silver cloud and black leaves. A soft beam of light fell from the moon on to his tree, bathing it in soft white light. He sat up quickly.

Had his tree touched the moon? He rose and went from his wurley into the dark night where the crickets were sharpening their stone-headed spears on stone, scraping them together.

And he looked about him and saw humps that were the silent wurleys of his people, looming in the shadowed darkness.

He walked into the bush on flat-soled feet that were silent in the dust. He stopped in a small clearing where his spirit tree grew and he looked up and saw the moon, full. He stood still for a long time, his dark erect body blending with the dark bush. And he watched the clouds pass slowly, slowly, like ghostly sentries treading the pathways of the sky. He stood immobile, never moving.

Then slowly he raised his arms upward and he curved his hands around the curve of the moon, and the chain of clouds broke, and the moon shone on his hands and turned them a ghostly white, and he whispered in wonder to the moon, to the clouds, to the darkness "I have held the moon, I have held Karkurra, I have held the moon."

The light is slowly fading, and the world becomes a soft quiet purple.

The King later returning, A sleek and fatter creature than when he set out, Of the mouse there is no sign, Only one drop of blood, On the graceful serpent's back.

Crashing down, engulfing all in its foaming white Frothy turbulence in its wake Boiling angrily at startled swimmers On its watery rampage to shore.

Then slowly, imperceptibly, it lessens, Weakening.

Until it is a submissive trickle at children's feet, Passively gnawing the sand.

A cluster of fresh gum leaves, Gently swaying in the pleasant breeze Is rustled by the fluttering wings Of a graceful, gleaming white bird.

Then — The quiet is broken by the shrill cry Of this magnificent creature As it soars high into the clear, blue sky, Heading homeward towards purple-hued

The Busy Street

The W i n d

I hear the cars go past; Sometimes, I hear them going too fast; I hear the sound of busy feet, That's the sound of Busy Street.

The trucks and buses go so slow Where they are going, I don't know.

I hear the sound of rustling feet, That's the sound of a busy street.

The wind whistles loud and low.

The leaves fall from the trees and make a trembling trembling sound like witches flying through the sky.

Rose on a

A rose may be prickly but I think they are very nice and slim.

Their petals are like velvet so soft and thin.

They weep when the wind whispers in their ear.

And they come in all shapes and sizes with colours of the rainbow.

Warm with the sun, light with the moon, and if you don't like Rose you better go to the doctor's room.

There is such a lot to see when you're at the zoo.

I'd like to see every animal, would you? but mummy says it is too big but I will, one day, I think.

the shakespeare examination

I've scratched and scrawled for a blessed week, Seven livelong days I have heard the squeak Of my neighbour's pen — and I hope I'm first, For my poor old brain has nearly burst.

Let's see, there's spelling — I think 'twas right, But about the meanings I'm hopeless quite.

Is ' m a c k e r e l " really a Scottish town, Or a thing you wear when the rain c o m e s down?

900 lines to be "learned and conned by rote". This annual examination was on a single play by S h a k e s p e a r e (a different play each year).

S o m e time before 1910, the examination h a p p e n e d to fall in the middle of the tests, and as a result was s o m e w h a t neglected. On the day, girls from other schools w e r e viewed with interest and in trepidation, and the boys " w e r e treated as ciphers, for w e well knew that they considered S h a k e s p e a r e a m e r e trifle c o m p a r e d with the momentous question of how many cadets they would send to c a m p . An end was put to such observations by the summons to the room of torture".

" B a c c h a n a l i a n " a Sixth Form word for "fun" " M i l l e n n i u m " that's when e x a m s are done!

While " H e t e r o g e n e o u s " is pudding, I think, Or is it the brand of the College ink?

What king was partitioned about a law?

Poor man! A most painful fate, I'm sure.

W a s it J a m e s who hurriedly lost his h e a d ?

Stay, no — in the cause of H o m e Rule he bled.

Well, the Pyrenees are a dark skinned race, T h e sun's going round at an awful p a c e — And so's my head — I feel fit to flop — But I do so hope I shall come out top.

maths girls - keep faith! " M a t h e m a t i c a l subjects are generally considered the hardest for girl students, but our results of the last two years at the Junior Public Examinations go a good way towards proving that constant, steady effort in well-graded classes of m o d e r a t e size will secure excellent results. This year w e had no failures in Algebra. In the previous year the results w e r e similar."

1913 — Bluebell.

1884 T h e Methodist Ladies' College completes the list of the great public schools which do so much honour to Melbourne, and m a k e it, practically, the educational capital of Australia. This college, which is only two years old, owes its origin to the feeling on the part of the leaders of the Wesleyan Church that the education of girls was at least as important as that of boys. . . . T h e Methodist Ladies' C o l l e g e represents the new and modern conception of the place w o m e n are to take in the world.

A site in Carlton, opposite the Exhibition buildings, and having a frontage overlooking the Carlton Gardens, was originally chosen. On mature consideration, however, this site was a b a n d o n e d due to the c r o w d e d buildings and the dusty streets of a busy suburb. This site was accordingly sold for some £7,000, and an admirable position chosen in Kew. T h e procession of lady-like girls travelling from all the suburbs, and hurrying from the Glenferrie station to the college every morning, makes a picturesque and pretty sight. While the college is thus readily accessible from the City, it has all the advantages of the country. Kew is reported by the Registrar-General, on the authority of its health statistics, to be "the healthiest spot in Australia", and this is easily credited by anyone w h o stands on the college grounds and breathes the pure air, and looks round on the encircling fields and gardens. . . . T h e schoolrooms, class and music rooms, etc., are spacious and airy, and with bright school furniture, gas, electric bells, fireplaces, etc., have a very comfortable and unschool-like look. Nothing could well be better than the domestic arrangements. T h e dining hall is nearly 60 ft. in length, and with its pictured walls, bookcases, etc., makes a very fine room. T h e r e are no warddormitories, but, instead, long ranges of comfortably carpeted and well-ventilated bedrooms, furnished throughout with great taste and comfort. T h e grounds are well supplied with croquet lawns, etc., an asphalted tennis court, equal to anything the Melbourne Cricket Club possesses, summer-houses, etc.

T h e college is governed by a large committee. It is wholly undenominational, though thoroughly Christian, and systematic Scriptural instruction is given in every class. A well-known and popular minister, the Rev. W. H. Fitchett, B.A., is president. T h e staff includes Mrs. T i d d e m a n , Miss Fraser, Miss Fitchett, Miss Hotchin, and other highly qualified teachers. . . . . . . Great pains are taken to m a k e the home lessons as light as is compatible with the progress of the students. T h e standard of work is high, and yet " c r a m " or strain is avoided with the utmost watchfulness, and in the college all studies cease at 8 p.m.

H o w a d m i r a b l e is the general tone of the college may be j u d g e d by the fact that, while the only penalty in force is the loss of " g o o d - c o n d u c t " marks, out of 150,000 possible good-conduct marks during the last half-year, only 98 have been lost.

42

. . . Its popularity is shown by the large number it attracts. It already has a larger number of resident boarders than, perhaps, any other similar institution in the colony. Amongst the number are young ladies from N e w South Wales, N e w Zealand, T a s m a n i a Western Australia, etc. A great future is no doubt before the Methodist Ladies' College.

Journal

by Edward Cornell of a Voyage from Liverpool to Melbourne for H.M. Royal Mail Clipper "Red Jacket", under Captain O'Halloran.

M a y 20th, 1856, Tuesday — About eleven o'clock this morning the " R e d J a c k e t " c o m m e n c e d weighing anchor, and assisted by two steam tugs p r o c e e d e d slowly along the Mersey.

M a y 21st, W e d n e s d a y — Most of the passengers have been taken sick today and it is amusing enough to those few who escape, to watch the progress of the infection among those on deck.

May 24th, Saturday — W e have had our first w e e k ' s rations served out today, they are not distributed separately to each passenger, but w e are all divided into messes of ten or twelve. W e have quite sufficient of most things and if w e could but e x c h a n g e a little quantity for quality it would be well, but on the whole, w e must not complain. I soon discovered that bread means "biscuit" and pretty hard biscuit it is. I went below and distributed a few tracts this afternoon, they w e r e gratefully received by most. It was pleasing to see so many carefully reading their Bibles, a matter which is by no means easy below Deck for want of good light, by far the greater number however w e r e playing at cards or dominos. T h e passengers, 460 in number, are a very " m i x e d lot", English, Irish, Welsh, Scotch and G e r m a n , the greater part of w h o m are bound for the diggings at Ballarat and Bendigo.

Respectable young men are very scarce on board, excepting the Saloon Passengers, with w h o m w e have no connection.

Monday, 26th May — Sorry to find that w e have thieves on board, yesterday s o m e o n e purloined all our share of butter and c h e e s e and my pans, knives and forks, etc., are vanishing with marvellous rapidity.

Saturday, 31st — Another narrow e s c a p e from fire through the carelessnes of the second mate; w e do not dread anything so much as a fire on shipboard as besides the improbability of reaching land in small open boats, I do not think the seven w e have would be sufficient to contain all the passengers and crew. More stringent measures will now be adopted, no naked lights and no smoking will be allowed between decks, and the first passengers found striking a light below is to be put in irons.

Sunday, 1st June — A sabbath school was comm e n c e d below today and between 20 and 30 children attended.

At a little after 10 the ship's bell tolled in true church time to summon the passengers to church; the service was held on the Poop D e c k and a large number attended and w e heard a simple useful sermon, from "Acquaint thou thyself with him and be at p e a c e . " Tuesday, 3rd June — A man is ill with small-pox on board; w e all hope that it will not spread any further, else w e may be detained in quarantine for 40 days. T h e r e are several hospitals in different parts of the ship, but in dangerous and infectious cases, the patients are placed in the fore-part, this man has a temporary house to himself situate on the forecastle.

Sunday, 29th June — T h a n k s to the Captain w e w e r e provided today with a very grand dinner; preserved fowls, bacon, potatoes and greens and a large apple pie to finish with, w e thought it made a little c h a n g e from the almost endless round of soup, rice and potatoes.

Sunday, 10th August — This morning our eyes w e r e g l a d d e n e d by the sight of land looming in the distance, but when supposed to be within about 15 miles of the " H e a d s " immediately after sunset, the Captain gave the order to "bout-ship" and again put out to sea, not venturing any further without daylight.

W e d n e s d a y , 13th August — On Monday afternoon the Government steamer c a m e up and took off our mails and immediately after w e set sail and with considerable difficulty, the passengers assisted, s u c c e e d e d in getting within the H e a d s w h e r e w e dropped anchor.

On T u e s d a y w e sailed safely through the dangerous channel and c a m e to anchor for the night about 7 miles from the shipping. This morning, a steam tug soon brought us to our a n c h o r a g e among the shipping.

In the course of an hour I was once more treading on terra firma on 19th August, 1856.

(Edited by SUSAN KENNY.)

W e d n e s d a y , 11th June — W e are now b e c a l m e d , having only travelled 16 miles in 24 hours.

Friday, 13th June — After 3 days calm w e are again in motion. W e hope soon to be in the "S.-E. T r a d e s " .

Monday, 16th June — Another auction sale took place today, this time I put up a f e w articles by way of an experiment, a f e w of which w e r e the following.

A pair of razors, cost 2 / 6 sold for 4 / 6 ; a hdkf, cost 1 / 1 sold for 2 / - and a tie, cost 6 1 / 2 d . sold for 1 / 6 , w e had a plain proof that the passengers are not short of provisions, as a 6 lb. tin of preserved meats only realised 1 / 1 . Most of the articles sold at the stores are c h a r g e d exorbitantly. Butter 2 / - per lb., cheese 1 / 6 , a small jar of preserves 2 / - .

W e d n e s d a y , 18th June — A c c o r d i n g to the Captain's calculations w e crossed the line at about 24 min. by 12 last night; the sailors m a n a g e d to extort sundry bottles of liquor and glasses of grog from some of the more timid and credulous passengers as the fee of exemption.

T h e r e was preaching held this evening b e t w e e n d e c k s by a young man from Cornwall and in future it is arranged that there shall be three services held, other preaching or Prayer meetings on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 7 p.m.

I am rather surprised at the course our vessel is taking, w e are now only a few hundred miles from the coast of South America. I believe our proposed course is direct h e n c e along the South A m e r i c a coast to Rio Janeiro, t h e n c e south, w e shall then t a k e an easterly direction straight for Port Phillip.

KATHRYN HILLIARD M.L.C. was saddened by the sudden and tragic death of Kathryn Hiiliard of II.E. Kathy came to M.L.C. in 1964 and spent her entire school days here. She was a keen scholar, especially interested in English.

Girls and Staff extend their continuing sympathy and prayers to Kathy's family.

Saturday, 21st June — A little girl about 7 years of age died last night of Scarlatina.

Tuesday, 24th June —

B e c a l m e d the whole day.

Friday, 27th June — I am sorry to find that gambling is increasing to a fearful extent, it c o m m e n c e d a few days b a c k with tossing for halfpence but now it is quite a c o m m o n thing for shillings, half crowns and even sovereigns to be staked on a throw of a dice.

The President s Greeting As president of the Old Collegians' Club for 1971, it is a pleasure to greet you all. It has been my privilege to meet some Old Collegians w h o m I would not perhaps have met and I am grateful to them for their help and encouragement. I look forward to meeting many more club m e m b e r s before the end of the year.

This year's council represents many age groups, so with the thoughtful help of the conveners w e have organised functions which, w e feel, will be of interest to everyone.

At the suggestion of some of our m e m b e r s w e have revived Back to School day on S h o w Day, 23rd Sept., and w e are also pleased to help and encourage the formation of a Y o u n g e r Set, for girls w h o are leaving school. T h e s e girls are most w e l c o m e to join, and Mrs. Poustie will be pleased to hear from them.

I would like to say how grateful the Council is for her untiring work in collecting information and news — w e wish her and her husband a wonderful trip.

To Mr. Woodgate, Miss Barbara Sutton, Miss Mavis Lancaster, Mr. Turner the Bursar, and other members of the staff w e extend our gratitude for the ready cooperation and advice w e have received.

My best wishes go to all Old Collegians for a happy and successful year.

D u r i n g s e c o n d t e r m , the publication of o u r f i r s t n e w s - s h e e t , " U M I " , revived the i n t e r e s t of the s t u d e n t s in the S . R .

D u r i n g the year, the h u m a n i t i e s met the s c i e n c e s in debate, w i t h the r e s u l t that the s c i e n c e s won. A little later M r .

tennis report T h i s year, it i s a pleasure to report that the T e a m s won more games than were lost. We started the season very well in both the " A " and " B " T e a m s , by winning the f i r s t three matches against M.C.E.G.G.S., L a u r i s t o n and Korowa respectively. However, perhaps practising two nights weekly s l o w l y exhausted us, for there followed a defeat of the " A " s by T h e Hermitage and a defeat of the " B " s by Morongo. Rumour has it that the Geelong g i r l s have porridge for breakfast!

After their f i r s t defeat, the " A " s managed to sharpen up and overcome Morongo, S t . Catherine's and W e s l e y (although referring to the latter, I doubt t h i s win describes the standard of our play). Once again, the Old Reliables (P.L.C.) vanquished the " A " s and we suffered a further defeat by Genazzano. T h e " B " s won against S t . Catherine's and P.L.C., but lost to Strathcona and Genazzano.

T h e teams had a most enjoyable season and I should again like to thank M r s . Maddison for her continued support, advice and work for our benefit. T h a n k s must also go to every team member for her hard work and enthusiasm and to emergencies, who saved the day on more than one occasion. Green blazers were awarded to B r o n w y n S h o r t and myself.

I think the T e n n i s prospects look very bright for next year and hope that many s t a r t e r s w i l l turn up for the f i r s t practice at the beginning of 1972. Perhaps you could start practising now . . . !
